The End of Belief

We have become Darwinian dwarves Driven by our appetites Competing for satisfaction Where once the city of God Reigned supreme. Utopia is nowhere, No more does it exist. On the surface of a near-exhausted planet We cling to life Better described As a hell on earth. Where have we gone wrong? We know but we dare not confess That man is not the measure of success But rather the architect of his own doom Where free will has left us with no room Nor any margin for error But left us prey to a terror Which cancerously leaches What Testaments teach us.
